The US will soon publish new immigration reform that will streamline the asylum system
Soon, the government of Joe Biden will publish a federal regulation that favors the asylum system in the United States, in this way new applications will be processed more quickly and the thousands that are already made will be processed.
Additionally, this change will allow officials to conduct interviews with applicants who arrive at the southern border of the United States and decide whether or not to grant them the benefit of asylum. Unaccompanied minors are exempt from company.
In this way, the granting of asylum will be expedited, since they will not go to the immigration judges who are overwhelmed by so many applications, because officials have the power and authority to make decisions in each case.
A few days ago, the Secretary of National Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, spoke on the subject, who skipped that the objective is "to provide greater efficiency to the asylum process, without compromising the due process that applicants have."
This proposal was presented in August and is expected to be approved in the coming days. It is also estimated that it will come into force for the summer. Although it is true that it is a slow process, since the lack of resources works against it.
Another difficulty is the number of backlogs waiting for a response, which is why it is estimated that it will be necessary to hire around 800 people and that it is necessary to invest close to 180 million dollars to start up the proposal and attend to 75,000 cases per year.
The Biden administration has come under fire since taking office in the White House, with immigrant protection groups and some Democratic lawmakers calling for a speedy solution to the escalating migration crisis.
